    Disaster just struck.

    I was forced to leave a bottle of Cantillion kriek at the airport due to kilogram issues.
    I will get over it.
    In time.

    Dude, I left a bottle of Lamvinus there yesterday for the same reason. Heartbreaking.

    As of Friday, yes, but you kind of have to finesse it. Definitely buy a couple bottles for each bottle of 50N you want. They also clearly had crates upon crates of LP Kriek sitting there, but told us they were sold out. They definitely do whatever the hell they want, so you have to play your cards right.

    Ouch. I ended up giving my bottle to a guy outside changing ad signs outside the airport. He seemed genuinely excited about it so it made me feel a little better about the whole thing, it isn't every day that somebody hands you a free bottle of amazing beer while you are at work at 7am.

    I already told my wife that we're buying an extra suitecase if we have too... She is ok with that which means I'll be waiting by the airport for guys who need to get rid of amazing beers.

    We were there a week ago Friday, too. The crates were full of LP Framboise. If only you'd asked for that :wink:

    Yeah, got 2 of those. There were crates upon crates of LP Kriek that they wouldn't sell.

    So you know for a fact those crates were not already sold and waiting for pick up or shipping? How did you find that out? Just asked?

    They have signs up saying what they have and what is sold out for most bottles. The LP Fram wasn't up yet, as it was still coming out. You can still buy a bottle of LP Kriek to drink there, but the sign for take away said sold out.
